IMPROVEMENT IN GQRSET-SPRING-S.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THoMAs A. HAREs, of New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvenient in the Manner of Securing the Springs of a Double Corset-Steel Together; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompan ying drawing forming part of this specification.

My invention relates more particularly to the mannear of securing the springs ot'a double-spring corset- 'steel togetheigaud consists in providing the longer Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several gures. Y

A represents the longer spring; and

B, the shorter spring.

C, the clasps, by which the two steels are secured together when used in the corset.

a' represents the slot iu the longer spring, through which the tongue b operates to hold the springs together.

The rivet c is used to secure the tongue iu the slot at one end, but, this rivet may be dispensed with, as the springs are prevented from becoming separated by the tongue and slot, as above described. 4

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letter Patent, is-

A double-spring corset-steel, when said springs are secured together by a slot and tongue, with or with- -out rivets, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
